[ "If you don't mind eating great thai food in a schnazzy ambience with a hop hip lunch crowd, then come on over to SPICE." ]

[ "Beautiful rooms filled with beautiful people, but expensive for what it is ($68 prix fixe), limited menu, tiny portions, reeeeeeeally slow service, undercooked potatoes with the cod, less than fascinating desserts." ]

[ "The owners Pat and John are very friendly and can often sit and have a beer with you." ]

[ "It's not going to win any awards for its decor, but the food is good, the portions are big, and the prices are low." ]

[ "It took an hour for us to order, another hour and 15 min to get our entree's I had to go to the bar to order my champange, and carry it back myself, the waiter got our entrees mixed up and placed them in the wrong place and sat there and watched me switch them around." ]

[ "but no reservations makes for a very long wait, usually of an hour." ]

[ "The Food The Korean dishes here are a bit more delicate than the potent fare found 30 blocks north, but the kitchen is hardly pulling its punches." ]

[ "I realize that this place has a huge menu and, therefore, will have some not-so-good things, but it's the rudeness of the service that gets to me." ]

[ "The atmosphere is still to die for, but the wine list has so clearly been pared down and marked up (as a result of higher foot traffic brought in by lots of rave reviews in local publications, perhaps?" ]

[ "Service was bad enough that we decided to head out after the first round of drinks." ]

[ "The waitress told us the portions were not big, so we each got an entree and shared a side." ]

[ "If you live downtown, definitely grab one of their menus, make a phone call and relax in front of the tv while they pound the pavement to get to you (although they do take about 45 minutes on average to get to you)-- the in restaurant service is likewise very very good." ]

[ "Even if you have to wait a bit for a reservation, the hostess will come over to apologize, update you on the wait and make sure you are comfortable." ]

[ "Between the seven of us we sampled just about everything on the menu, and nothing disappointed (ribs pulled pork seemed like the biggest hits)." ]

[ "The salads were amazing in themselves - mixed greens andtomato wedges in a delicious balsamic vinagrette with slices of Italian bread with warm goat cheese." ]

[ "Two Tom's food is excellent, it more than makes up for the lack of decor." ]

[ "If you are looking for service and all the frills $$$ - Il Mulino is the best for both - if you are looking for a fabulous dinner in/out - this restaurant is it!" ]
